Review
A thousand years of history in the heart of Hanoi! Thang Long Imperial Citadel is the center of the Vietnamese royal family from the Ly Dynasty to the Nguyen Dynasty and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After passing through the main gate of Doan Môn, you will see the remains of the ancient palace, the Kinh Thiên Palace and the Dragon Stairs. In particular, the D67 underground bunker was a strategic center during the Vietnam War, adding historical depth. On weekend nights, the ‘Decoding the Thang Long Imperial Citadel’ night tour is held, offering a special experience with traditional performances, light shows, and lotus tea tasting.
